Broken During my first live ranked game I moved a knight and the game placed a third bishop on the board. I could not move any other pieces meanwhile my timer still counted down, after 5 mins it got rid of the extra bishop and did the move I wanted. This happened again in the same game with my white pawn moving from g7 to g5, which makes no sense, when I wanted c2 to c3. Phone did not go idle or anything!

Reviews

Needs some polishing Menues flicker for no reason. Premoves to take opponent piece if he takes mine select my piece instead of premoving, unless I drag. Watch highest rated game should not be a single item in a submenu.

Lots of improvement require 1. No sign to identify match in which u have written comment for next move 2. Any invitation comes under massage session the links do not go through app. 3. In tournament page back button leads to home page of new game

Apple version is better Otherwise the app is good, but the only thing wrong I could find with this app is there is no submit move button. So if your finger slips or whatever you are committed to the move made. An option might be in settings but I couldn't find. But only Android shows you which country your opponent is from so that's cool too.

Almost perfect The UI has probably been iterated through so many times that it is close to perfection by now. The lessons/puzzles/tactics are also pretty awesome. However, there were a few times when the notifications repeated themselves, even after I have responded to them.

Good app, but needs work I've been having issues with screen rotation restarting the program and canceling my live game, which I could not reenter. There's also a bug that requires me to repeatedly press the back button to get back to the menu after a live game. Other than these bugs, well done

Lovely game to play and learn It's a great game especially when you can change and keep yourself safe in the one player mode haha that's cool ....daily puzzles are great ....the developers keep it up .....

Good, but needs improvement. Once you get the game(s) going, it's great. However, the app, much like the website, falls short. Took my friend and I a week to find and friend each other on it. We've played dozens of games against each other, now I can't rechallenge him :-(

Many scoring errors in tactics Tactics is really the only part i use, so this feedback is limited to that portion of the app. Really fun to play, but it is compromised by some errors in scoring after recent updates. I don't mean scoring is unfair, but I can answer a question correctly within time and still get points taken away, and I've also seen the opposite. Please fix.

Best chess app but can be improved Best chess app for me because of old-style "correspondance" mode, where you have day(s) for each move. If you love chess but don't want to be bothered to move every 20 minutes, this is for you. I still don't understand why it takes so long to refresh the board or send/receive a move, even on wifi... It's a chess game, for God's sake, data transfer should be very fast even if you're sending the whole game back and forth.

Great app with very minor defects This app is really good, however it does lack some functions that the website readily provides. Personally, I am a fan of live chess, however in the app I am unable to see open challenges that are live, the app also happens to sometimes glitch out by not displaying the board properly and/or giving connection time outs, that cause one to get the 'fair play; terms of service' message. Besides those flaws it is really great, and I have already recommended it to a couple of friends. Keep playing guys! :)

So far so good! I like this new updated app so much! Can't stop playing even when I am at work. So can it be quiet when play games? I want to select those beautiful themes with a "no sound" option. thanks! Keep going and improving!!

Buggy Works for the most part, but unfortunately the bugs are very conspicuous. For example, rotating the screen will occasionally abort the current game, without any record that the game actually existed at all. Extremely frustrating...

Constant disconnections and lag makes it impossible to play a game. Good app but does not close properly and keeps running. Eventually it causes Android to crash with an auto reboot so I have to remember to manually stop the app each time I play. Fix this and will give 5 stars. Update: lowered to one star because of the constant reboots. This needs to be fixed. Losing too many games because of bugs. Very frustrating.

Ugh Im not great at chess and I finally beat the computer. Just 2 or 3 moves from certain victory it cuts out and says 'draw by stalemate' which is absolute bullshit. I was about to win! I wanted to cry! I finally won and they took it from me! F YOU!

Idle players A few times I'm playing and the other player disconnects then reconnects leaving me hanging and I've ended up loosing because of existing game. Eg my last game I was waiting for 7 mins for move I still had 9 on the clock. There needs to be a better boot system to kick players who disconnect or are not playing fairly. Or a flag button so the player can flag another player who is not playing fairly.

Best Chess App Around Looking for a good chess app to play with my Dad long distance and this is the best. Play in a browser or on a phone and the Android app is smooth, responsive, and feature rich. Looking forward to playing more games.

Daily games. Am ~1400 I use this for daily games rather than live. I'm impressed at how accurate the rating system is and the quantity of players means it is easy ( a matter of seconds) to start games with ppl at the same level, or a little above, to keep me challenged.

Can't log in with facebook I created my account with facebook on their website and I've been trying to log in on my account through the phone. It won't let me. It seems I will have to create a new account to be able to use it freely. This is a major inconvenience, at least I'm a newcomer but others with older facebook accounts would have to use smurf accounts to play mobile. I am using a Samsung Note 2

CJF Excellent app, I love being able to keep playing with absent friends and family. The daily puzzle and tactics are a fun start to the day. The videos are really helpful and pitched right for my level.

-- ""Show CPU Thinking"" option for level 3+A unique feature, great for learning chess. This shows which moves the AI is considering.

-- Chess Stats, Timers, Hints and HandicapsTrack your career history against each level and improve your rating

Chess quotes:"In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent." - Vassily Smyslov

"Chess is 99% tactics." - Rudolph Teichmann

"Good players develop a tactical instinct, a sense of what is possible or likely and what is not worth calculating." - Samuel Reshevsky

"No matter how much theory progresses, how radically styles change, chess play is inconceivable without tactics." - Samuel Reshevsky

"Tactics involve calculations that can tax the human brain, but when you boil them down, they are actually the simplest part of chess and are almost trivial compared to strategy." - Garry Kasparov

"Tactics flow from a superior position." - Bobby Fischer

"In general I consider that in chess everything rests on tactics. If one thinks of strategy as a block of marble, then tactics are the chisel with which a master operates, in creating works of chess art." - Tigran Petrosian

"...one other thing is the GM's superiority in tactics. For example Christiansen can find tactics in any position. If you're a GM you should be able to overpower the IM tactically. The GM will often blow out the IM in this area. " - Nick de Firman

"If the student forces himself to examine all the moves that smite, however absurd they look at first glance, he is on the way to becoming a master of tactics." - Cecil Purdy
